Do I Need to Take CoQ10?
Coenzyme Q10 (commonly just called CoQ10) is a naturally occurring substance found in every cell in the human body. This antioxidant is super important for protecting the cells against damage and for breaking down nutrients for energy. That being said, CoQ10 is already something the body produces, but as we age our bodies make way less of it.
Fortunately, supplementing with CoQ10 can provide numerous benefits.
One of the primary benefits of CoQ10 is its ability to support heart health. Research suggests that CoQ10 may help reduce blood pressure, improve heart function, and decrease the risk of heart disease.
CoQ10 may also be beneficial for people with diabetes. Studies have found that supplementing with CoQ10 can help improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and lower blood sugar levels.
In addition to its heart and diabetes benefits, CoQ10 may also improve exercise performance, reduce muscle damage and soreness. Which means that you can get back to the gym quicker.
The antioxidant also has neurological benefits as well. It can protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. This makes CoQ10 a completely well rounded supplement to take as we get older.
CoQ10 supplements are available in various forms, including capsules, softgels, chewable tablets, muscular injections, and infusions. Infusion being the quickest and muscular injection being the longest lasting method. Methods that involve digestion often absorb much less of the supplement and take a longer time to feel results. It's important to talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it's safe for you to take.
